Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

The Maine faithful are beating down the door to the ticket office as we speak

Since based on his current appearance, he needs a new nickname other than 'Red', I propose his new nickname be 'Whitehead'.

Gendron has been offered the job

Have you anything to substantiate that claim?

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

Latest rumor is that we've been focused on the wrong Tortorella. It's really John. The reason for Tuesday is they're waiting for him to lose to the Bruins on Saturday.

Only positive to this if true is that he'll be in a nursing home in a few years so we won't be stuck with him long term.

Maybe more French-Canadian players? Tough to go up against the Q, but a French-speaking HC might help. Might. I'm trying, here

Yes. He said media availability with new coach at 1pm. Fans meet new coach at Seasons in Bangor from 5-7. That is current plan.

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

You saw the WABI report? Did Abbott say there would be a meet n greet for fans or a meet n greet for fans WITH THE NEW COACH? That is kinda an important distinction

I saw the report also...stated by WABI Sports Announcer that there was a CHANCE at naming the New Coach on Tuesday...with that said a Press Conference would be held at 1pm and then later "IF" a New Coach was named on that day that there would be a gathering from 5pm - 7pm. A lot of "IF's".

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

Nick Coit on WABI just said Tuesday is still planned, doing backchecks as we speak, etc. Nothing real new.

????? are you for real..?

Yeah, I just didn't really think he was in the mix.

Hoky, I hope you are wrong.

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

Yes. I'd prefer Osiecki over Gendron/Tortorella. He's YOUNG, motivated, really good recruiter, USHL connections. Gendron is 59!!!!

Re: Maine Hockey Thread II: The Search for Spock

I didn't know anything about Osiecki until a couple hours ago, but he looks to be a real good candidate. He is definitely a lot better than Red or Tortorella.

Mark Osiecki re-tweeted the following five hours ago: "Trust is central to doing business with anyone. Without it, you have another word that that begins with T: Trouble."

He also tweeted he was on airplane yesterday so that could validate the reports of him visiting UMaine earlier.
